[Bf-vfx] Bundle display orientation

[Sebastian König]

It just looks a bit weird when you orient the camera so that the solution matches the floor and the bundles are rotated and parallel to the camera but bit to the floor. (Bad) example: https://img.skitch.com/20110918-niyuk3gcbhe52rcfwpfh4113ec.png
That's why me too would be for bundles that follow the camera's orientation without changing their rotation.
And I'd go further, I think that the only thing the bundles should inherit form the camera is their position. I would find it much better if the bundles had a fixed size and rotation, instead of becoming bigger and smaller with the camera-scale, or becoming rotated in themselves when orienting the camera. Which, by the way, should also not become bigger/smaller when adjusting the scene size. :)
I hope that makes sense.

Cheers!
Sebastian

> I totally understand your point of view, Its just for quick reference when your aligning/offsetting the orientation of the camera in global space. The markers are indeed in camera space, which would be correct, only we almost always have to manually adjust the camera rotation, and I would find it more convenient to not only rely on the grid floor.

>> This is mostly addressed to Sergei(nazgul) but I'm open for some additional input. I just noticed that the bundles orientation is, I presume, local. What I was expecting when rotating the camera after applying the reconstruction to it, that the bundles(displayed as plain axes) would align themselves in global space, and therefore, the axes would align with the scene axes. It's not a showstopper by any means, but with a properly orientated reconstruction, I found it somewhat distracting. If you can find the time to look into it, I'd be very grateful!
